Premature Ejaculation and Ayurveda

Premature ejaculation is a common complaint of many men and has a more psychological effect than a physiological one. This can be a defined as a situation where ejaculation is uncontrolled and occurs sooner than a man or his partner would like. Unless this is a frequent occurrence, it is not an issue to worry about. This condition can be easily treated with a combination of medication and techniques to control ejaculation.

Ayurveda is a holistic form of treatment that addresses the core issues of a problem. Unlike other allopathic forms of medication, an ayurvedic course of treatment involves not only medication but also exercises and lifestyle changes. According to ayurveda, premature ejaculation is a result of a number of factors including age, time since the last ejaculation, his levels of excitement, stress etc.

Here are a few ayurvedic tips that could help prevent premature ejaculation.

Also try and follow a routine when it comes to daily tasks like brushing your teeth, bathing, exercising and meal times. Eat balanced meals that are nutritious with a low fat value. Do not try to control natural urges such as the need to urinate, defecate, sneeze, sleep etc.
2. Herbs: There are a number of ayurvedic herbs that can be used to treat this condition. While ayurveda has negligible side effects it is unwise to self medicate or follow an uncertified prescription. Though talking about this condition may be embarrassing, one must always consult a doctor before using any ayurvedic herb. Tribulus terrestris has properties that can increase strength and stamina and boost self esteem. It is also beneficial for prostate health and is said to increase sperm count. Additionally, it increases libido. Shilajit is a herb used to improve vigor and stamina. It also helps deal with stress and improves fertility rates and sperm count. Ashwagandha can help relieve impotency, stress and a number of other lifestyle ailments that influence premature ejaculation. It promotes a feeling of overall wellbeing and facilitates quicker and longer lasting erections.
3. Yoga: Yoga can also help relieve this condition by regulating body functions and hormones. The Paschimotasana is one of the best yoga exercises for this condition. It strengthens sperm and helps control ejaculation. Sarvangaasana strengthens the adrenal glands and testis and thus boosts sperm potency.
